Kurt Vonnegut was born in Indianapolis in 1922. He studied at the universities of Chicago and Tennessee and later began to write short stories for magazines. His first novel, Player Piano, was published in 1951 and since then he has written many novels, among them: The Sirens of Titan (1959), Mother Night (1961), Cat's Cradle (1963), God Bless You Mr Rosewater (1964), Welcome to the Monkey House; a collection of short stories (1968), Breakfast of Champions (1973), Slapstick, or Lonesome No More (1976), Jailbird (1979), Deadeye Dick (1982), Galapagos (1985), Bluebeard (1988) and Hocus Pocus (1990). During the Second World War he was held prisoner in Germany and was present at the bombing of Dresden, an experience which provided the setting for his most famous work to date, Slaughterhouse Five (1969). He has also published a volume of autobiography entitled Palm Sunday (1981) and a collection of essays and speeches, Fates Worse Than Death (1991).
Billy Pilgrim is the son of an American barber. He serves as a chaplain's assistant in World War II, is captured by the Germans, and he survives the largest massacre in European history the fire bombing of Dresden. After the war Billy makes a great deal of money as an optometrist, and on his wedding night he is kidnapped by a flying saucer from the planet Tralfamadore. So begins a modern classic by a master storyteller.
比利挣脱了时间的羁绊。 在挣脱时间羁绊以前,他是个出生于20年代的美国青年,瘦弱无能。不过他的瘦弱无能从来没造成什么大麻烦,因为他是个普通的美国青年。直到1945年,他被送到德国战场。 这时候,他刚在配眼镜医生的专业学校读了半年。这个瘦弱没用的青年,也只是被叫去...
评分《五号屠场》的阅读,终于结束。 昨日睡前读,于是在梦里开始时间旅行。冯内古特式的时间旅行是破碎的,随机的,你并不知道自己会前往何时,你只是前往。随随便便的到达某一个时间,经历一些过去已经经过的事情。 亚当弗尔在《几率游戏》中说,当一件事情发生时,这件事情发生...
评分第一次读Slaughterhouse Five是在大一暑假。没过多久就去军训了。站在黄沙场上的时候我试图像Billy一样让自己跳出燥热与干渴,一头扎进某一帧的过往或未来。从没成功过。夜晚坐在凉棚里我抬头看见无数繁星,于是试着用想象将自己发射上其中某一颗。同样只是失败。 一年多后再...
评分德累斯顿大轰炸,发生在1945年2月,当第二次世界大战接近尾声,德军处于强弩之末时,英美联军对德国历史名城、工业重镇德累斯顿发动了惨绝人寰的空袭,致使3万五千人~13万五千人遇难,其中大部分是平民。 德累斯顿大轰炸是二战中极具争议的事件之一,包括广岛原子弹、卡廷森...
评分一本诉极哀伤的书,是不让人流泪的。还好,常人的耳朵听不见悲音,所以才能活的自得,心无畏惧。 记得小时候有一度对生命的不可控性满怀忧怖。后来想开了,人既要享焚毁蚁穴之乐,必受自戮之苦。又有一个充满自我暗示功用的词语叫‘命运’,可为人生编织许多甜蜜的误会。 So ...
战争不可避免,死亡也是早已注定,整个宇宙的熵增总是无法逆转。So it goes. Why bothers at all?
评分one of the best anti-war books i've read
评分短小精悍,精华就是那句体现四维世界观的:So it goes。此外就是大美奸Cambell就美国文化对穷人的歧视那段论述比较经典。
评分永恆比利的時間漂流
评分But the little Lord Jesus, No crying He makes. 希望自己也有能力分辨什么是我不能改变的,而什么又是我能改变的。继续追求不以物喜不以己悲的境界吧
